I know, I know...

Sorry, I haven't blogged in FOREVER! But I have a valid excuse. I have had company in my computer room for 2 solid weeks leaving me little time to doddle on the computer at leisure. Christy visited us for a week and then Quentin took over for an additional week. It has been really nice to have people around but I am glad to get my somewhat quiet house back! :-)

I really did have a nice time. Christy and Quentin were HUGE helps and I will miss that the most! Especially when it comes to dirty diaper time! I have had the hardest time with my gag reflex this time around and those diapers Decovin provides are quite hard to handle at times!

Speaking of my gag reflex, I was hoping to skim by this pregnancy with a "puke-free" first trimester, but alas, no such luck came my way! LOL! I lost my cookies last Tuesday at random! Oh well, maybe that will be it! I am 11 weeks now so maybe I will be done with the gags in a week or so! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I went to the doctor last Wednesday to hear the heartbeat but since I was just barely over 10 weeks along at that point the Midwife said they may not hear it. And she tried for 5 minutes to to find it but couldn't so to be "better safe than sorry" she did a quick sonogram to find the baby and we could see the heartbeat on the screen with a tiny flicker and then the baby bounced up in my belly! It was really cool to see! Never gets boring those sonograms! Obviously, it is still to early to tell the sex of the baby but I am posting the picture for you all to see. You can see the head on the right. Quentin was with me and thought this was really cool also! :-) The Midwife said it is the size of a peanut right now. So COOL!

So anyway, what else has happened since I last posted. Oh for 4th of July we headed up to Jeff & Marianne's for a wet barbeque thanks to the rain but it was really yummy and the kids love to play together. Decovin thought he was on cloud 9 with all the "new" toys to play with! Didn't know where to go to first! LOL! On our drive back from their house we saw several different fireworks displays going on to our East, North and South and I am sure the West but we weren't heading that direction! :-)

Then that weekend following, Bob, Decovin, Quentin, & Bob's entire immediate family went to the Lake of the Ozarks to his g'parent's cabin for a short stay. We swam a LOT and even went shopping at the outlet stores in Osage Beach. It was really a fun time! Especially the swimming part! Decovin didn't care too much for his life jacket but he still had fun splashing everyone! :-)

Well, that about sum's up what has been happening. Sorry it has been so long! I will try not to be so long between posts! Oh and I go to the doctor again on the 1st of August because the Midwife wanted to HEAR the heartbeat and not just see it. Oh and I have an appointment with an Occupation Therapist for my back as it has been giving me quite a bit of grief for some reason! So wish me luck!

Oh and if you haven't already, GO AND SEE HARRY POTTER! So good!
